A severe weather pattern is predicted to affect parts of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic as storms shift eastward. Starting Thursday afternoon, storms will develop across Middle Tennessee and move into areas recovering from Hurricane Helene. Forecasts indicate up to 5 inches of rain in the Carolinas and even more in some regions. Damaging hail and wind gusts pose risks for cities like Knoxville and Asheville. Louisiana has already experienced severe flooding with 8 inches of rain reported in some areas due to persistent storms.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, a broad area across the South and mid-Atlantic will face an increasing threat of thunderstorms beginning Thursday afternoon when a cluster of storms will develop across Middle Tennessee and move east into northern Alabama, North Georgia, and western North Carolina, an area that is still recovering from Hurricane Helene.
The worst of this week's flooding appears to have impacted parts of southern Louisiana, where some communities reported over 8 inches of rainfall in just 24 hours. You had training storms just dumping buckets of rain over the same spots, which is why we're seeing a lot of clustering near Lake Charles, Louisiana.
